Critical Threats: Blank When None
Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Drone kills Taliban in Pakistan

A missile attack by a remote-controlled drone has killed at least 15 people in Pakistan’s Kurram tribal region near the Afghan border.

Monday’s attack was the first in the Kurram tribal region and came two days after a missile strike in the South Waziristan tribal region killed at least 25 mostly Central Asian fighters suspected of having al-Qaeda links.

There was no confirmation on who was behind the missile strike but Pakistan has often accused the US military of targeting fighters in the border region with remote-controlled aircraft.

An intelligence official in the area said Taliban fighters “were holding an important meeting there when the missiles were fired” and a fighter from the area said those killed included Afghan and Pakistani Taliban.....

Taliban Threats in Pakistan Are Heard a World Away

Last June, Bakht Bilind Khan, who was living in the Bronx and working at a fast-food restaurant, returned to his village in the volatile Swat Valley of northern Pakistan to visit his wife and seven children for the first time in three years.

But at a dinner celebration with his family, his homecoming suddenly turned dark: several heavily armed Taliban fighters wearing masks appeared at the door of their house, accused Mr. Khan of being an American spy and kidnapped him.....

On March 9th and 10th, Ahmed Bedier, the former representative for the Hamas-affiliated Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and “unofficial spokesman” for Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist Sami Al-Arian, will be holding an event in Tallahassee, Florida, under the banner of his newly formed group, United Voices for America (UVA).

On Al-Jazeera TV, Kuwaiti Prof Suggests a Biological Attack on White House, Prays for Bombing of Nuclear Plant on Lake Michigan

Following are excerpts from a speech by Kuwaiti Professor Abdallah Al-Nafisi, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on February 2, 2009. Abdallah Al-Nafisi: “Four pounds of anthrax – in a suitcase this big – carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S., are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour, if it is properly spread in population centers there. “What a horrifying idea. 9/11 will be small change in comparison. Am I right? There is no need for airplanes, conspiracies, timings, and so on. “One person, with the courage to carry four pounds of anthrax, will go to the White House lawn, and will spread this ‘confetti’ all over them, and then will do these cries of joy. It will turn into a real ‘celebration.’......

‘Bomb’ package was fake cash

Police are investigating security footage from the Ohio State Wexner Jewish Student Center after a woman left a suspicious package at the building Friday night.

The Columbus Fire Department’s bomb squad was deployed to the Jewish Center at 46 E. 14th Ave. late Saturday morning after a student reported an unattended suitcase near the front door of the building. Fire officials cordoned off an area about 500 feet from the suitcase before using a robot-controlled water canon to destroy the suitcase.

The suitcase contained a stack of photocopied $50 bills,.....

Don’t look to the politicians or the MSM for anything but smoke and mirrors.

Bast***s got control, and they’re going to push every button in sight until they’re kicked out.

Internet a boon for terrorists, expert testifies

The Internet has become one of the most important tools for Al-Qa’ida and jihadists for recruiting, communicating and creating virtual cells and Saïd Namouh took full advantage of it, according to an American counter-terrorism expert who testified at the suspected terrorist’s trial Tuesday.

Rita Katz, co-founder of Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Intelligence group that monitors jihad message boards on the internet in order to alert authorities, was called by the Crown to give her take on the myriad videos and messages RCMP officers found on Namouh’s computer when they arrested him in 2007 in a small Quebec town.

Although Katz’s testimony focused on the general behaviour of terrorists in the digital age, her 120-page report about Namouh, known as Ashraf online, and his involvement with the Global Islamic Meda Front, the propaganda arm of Al-Qa’ida, was submitted as evidence......
